Why it matters
The THINK City is a two-seat, battery-electric city car from the Norwegian maker THINK. It uses a three-phase asynchronous motor, and two battery options were fitted: sodium (Zebra) or lithium-ion. Production later moved from Oslo to Finland.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
THINK launched the TH!NK city at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008. Its press release planned spring deliveries in Norway, sales in Denmark and Sweden that year, and launches in the UK, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands in 2009.
THINK North America launched production at its Elkhart, Indiana plant in November 2010, several months ahead of schedule. Finland built the body-and-wheel gliders, and the Elkhart crew fitted the EnerDel lithium-ion battery first.
THINK states that the car can be driven up to 160 km on a full charge, and it charges from an ordinary 10 A or 16 A socket, with the 16 A socket charging faster.
